"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler. And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."--Hines Ward

Matt Spaeth is horrible. There's no other way to put it. His blocking is debatable as well...there's a reason he's not in Chicago...lol.

His blocking is debatable? He graded out as the best blocking TE in the league last season. I'd be willing to bet that you honestly didn't watch a single snap of his last season. Everyone is bitching about the pickup solely because he wasn't very good here. He's not Heath Miller and they didn't bring him in to be. They brought him in because, believe it or not, he's a very good blocking TE. It's a good pick up but people are going to bitch because he's another ex player we cut and it isn't a sexy signing. Let's not forget the fact that 1) he's not a lock to make the team and 2) he's being brought in to replace Pope as the 3rd TE if he does make the team, and believe it or not, he's an upgrade.
